books by Milton Friedman     books:       The Road to Serfdom Fiftieth Anniversary Edition183 reviews F. A. Hayek University Of Chicago Press, 1994 Brilliant prima facie case against socialism Considering it my duty as an economics major, I took it upon myself to read this book, with little expectations as to its brilliance, and was completely swept away.
